• Continuously evolve and operationalize strategy across product, GTM, finance, and operations as conditions change
• Build and maintain a real-time enterprise portfolio view of major initiatives, resourcing, interdependencies, and performance against plan

• Design and run the company's operating rhythms, including annual planning cycles, quarterly OKR reviews, business performance checkpoints, and executive forums
• Establish clear decision-making frameworks, accountability mechanisms, and follow-through processes that enable focus and durable growth
• Lead quarterly business reviews to assess performance, recalibrate strategy, and reallocate resources based on results
• Build AI-native planning infrastructure that powers Oura’s planning model and portfolio management
• Proactively identify when the business is overextended, underinvested, or misaligned — and mobilize the right people to resolve it
• Design and implement the planning infrastructure (frameworks, tooling, operating rituals) that scales with the company and enables execution with speed and clarity
• Serve as the primary integrator across Product, GTM, Finance, and Operations — clarifying ownership, surfacing trade-offs, and resolving misalignment quickly
• Lead and develop a high-performing planning and operations team — setting clear expectations, providing mentorship, and building a culture of rigor and speed
